COMM1 . Truscelli N I 16 Days Ago

Lovedddd Nikki, would've gotten an A+ if it wasn't for me taking comm 89 at the same time, super chill professor!

COMM178 . Truscelli N I 2 Months Ago

I took her for COMM1 and now COMM178 as a 3-week class. The class structure was well-organized and excellent to learn. She was always willing to bring up examples if students needed clarification. I'm straight-up devastated that it is her last time teaching at UCSB; I'm crying so hard on the floor rn :( P.S. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TEACHING

COMM1 . Truscelli N I 4 Months Ago

Really liked Truscelli's lecturing style. Engaging and clear. However, its seems like not all the TAs graded on the same scale and their grading criteria was different from what the professor outlined in her rubric. Also not clear on the deadline for contesting a grade, so submitted request too late. 2 easy MCQ online exams and 2 difficult papers.

COMM1 . Truscelli N I 6 Months Ago

Took Comm 1 for my pre-major requirement this winter. Nikki was such a passionate lecturer I couldn't help but want to listen to what she said. She always had good feedback and answers to questions. We had our midterm and final online and two five-page papers toughly graded by TAs. Just take good notes and you'll do well!

COMM1 . Truscelli N I 7 Months Ago

I 100% enjoyed COMM1 with Nikki! Though I had a rocky start for the first two weeks, I worked my way up to earn a good grade. The TA section was required for attendance. I had it at 8 a.m. (It helped me gain focus, lol). It is a very straightforward and basic class as a GE or Pre-Communication requirement.

Nikki really cares about her students and whether or not they understand the content. She'll always be willing to give feedback on papers and thesis statements. There is a one use 48 hour extension to use on one of the two papers. Midterm and final were both online and taken through Canvas.
